After saying her piece, Mi Nuo took her bag and strode off.
Her silhouette strong and proud, it had the aura of a person who had the lives of others in the palm of her hand.
Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows and turned to look at Li Yufeng. âWhat does she have that she can use against you?â
Was it because of this that Li Yufeng felt obliged to help Mi Nuo?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
If that was the case, then everything would be answered.
Li Yufeng pursed her lips tightly as she heard this. It was a few moments before she answered, âZhuang Nainai, please donât respond to the stuff on Weibo, okay? If not, the Gu family and the Si family will both lose their reputations!â
âWhy? What exactly did you do for her to be able to threaten you like that?â
Li Yufeng took a deep breath. âItâs all stuff that happened when I was younger... Why are you trying to find out all about it? Gu Qingyan, let me just leave you with this: if you still think that youâre a daughter of the Gu family, as well as the daughter-in-law of the Si family, then please sacrifice your reputation for the sake of these two families! In any case, this issue will die down after a while, and nobody will be bothered as to whether you really committed plagiarism or not.â
Zhuang Nainai felt that what she had just heard was hilarious. But just before she could reply, Si Zhengting spoke. âThe Si family doesnât need to ruin a ladyâs name in order to protect its reputation. The Si family also isnât afraid to reveal anything to the public as we have nothing to hide.â
With that, Si Zhengting took a step forward and stared at Li Yufeng. âAlso, if youâre not willing to let us in on whatever secrets the Gu family has, I think Iâll directly ask... Mr. Gu.â
He had called Gu Deshou by name in the past, but now that Zhuang Nainai had changed her view of him, Si Zhengting was now careful to address him as Mr. Gu.
Li Yufeng narrowed her eyes as she heard this. A few moments later, she sat down. âGu Qingyan, will you only be satisfied after youâve forced me to my death?! Your dadâs gone overseas to find that b***h of a mistress! He doesnât come home, let alone come back for the New Year!â
A mistress again?
Now it was Zhuang Nainaiâs turn to narrow her eyes. âMy mother isnât a mistress! You know very well who the mistress in this whole matter is! Li Yufeng, are you still unwilling to admit that it was you who stole from someone else?â
The moment she said this, Li Yufengâs eyes grew wide. âEven you know about it too?â
Know about it too?
âWho else knows about this?â Zhuang Nainai asked, then vehemently realized... âSo, the thing that Mi Nuo threatened you about was this?â
In an instant, Li Yufengâs head drooped. Her silence was a form of admission.
Zhuang Nainai knitted her brows. âLi Yufeng, you...â
âYes, I was ruthless and willing to do anything to get ahead in the past! I chased Gu Deshouâs girlfriend away in the past, but didnât the two of them still get married in the end? So, Iâm not considered a third party! Iâm not a mistress! Donât slander me like that!â
Zhuang Nainai had no idea what to say about her line of logic.
But she was now suddenly a little muddled after hearing Li Yufengâs words.
In a matter like this, was Li Yufeng the one at fault? Or was it someone elseâs fault?
It was reminiscent of Si Jingyuâs case: from the way she and Bai Yue spoke previously, it seemed that she was the one who had thrust herself in between Bai Yue and Shi Jinyan, causing the two of them to break up. Now that Bai Yue was back, was Bai Yue considered a mistress or not?
In the time that Zhuang Nainai let her thoughts wander, Li Yufeng had already taken a deep breath and said, âWhatever it is, Iâm the one whoâs now legally married to your father, and our union is protected by law! But what I want to remind you of is this: if this is exposed, not only will my reputation be affected, but think about how the public will judge you! Will you be seen as a mere tool for status advancement? Or will you be seen as the love child by a mistress?â
